change setDescription to accept an object instead of positional arguments, making each argument explicit to comply with the new WhatsApp Web version. await chatWid before passing it to setDescription and use optional chaining when accessing descId to safely handle missing values.

The 29.3.1 heading still counted eight patches over a nine row table. The table row and the patcher header now name the open upstream fix, wwebjs/whatsapp-web.js#201895, the way the #201832 and #201816 entries already do, and record what has to survive the day it lands: upstream keeps WAWebMsgKey.newId() and passes an empty description through verbatim, so a tree carrying it matches neither the transform's find nor its replace, and the empty-string clear that docs/06 documents lives only in the mapping this patcher adds. Credit the contributor on the CHANGELOG entry, per docs/20.

Description
Change setDescription to accept an object instead of positional arguments, making each argument explicit to comply with the new WhatsApp Web version. Fix the error bellow when call setDescription. Await chatWid before passing it to setDescription and use optional chaining when accessing descId to safely handle missing values.
I tried to make minimal changes to the current implementation to preserve the existing code pattern.
